Thread Name: BS: Do You Keep a Personal Work Log?
Subject: RE: BS: Do You Keep a Personal Work Log?
Since 1984, I have kept work notes written and dated in bound hard cover artist sketch books. I am an artist, so I used them already for sketches. Then when I became an art director, I had notes from trade shows, presentations to clients, telephone conversations, etc., that I had to keep track of. The blank books let me also tape other things into a page, business cards, notes handed to me, clippings. It is faster than having to rewrite everything into a computer, and I can carry it with me, writing down phone notes and meetings as I have the conversations. I can go back and read the dated entries of meetings, etc. Because the books are bound and durable, they don't get lost or run out of space too quickly.
